2010 Map of Lake City

About this map

Lake City occupies a prominent position on the western shore of the Mississippi River, where its urban grid meets the mouth of Miller Creek. This early 21st-century documentation illustrates the dense concentration of civic and spiritual sites within the town, including Saint Marys Academy and the Lake City Post Office. The landscape is notably dense with burial grounds, clustering several like Bethany Cemetery, Oakwood Cemetery, and Saint Johns Cemetery along the town's southern edge. Across the river in Wisconsin, the settlement of Stockholm sits below the bluffs, near the Old Stockholm Cemetery. The surrounding Minnesota uplands are defined by a series of deep ravines such as Boston Coulee and Moran Coulee, while infrastructure like the Ralph Lenz Detention Structure Dam and William Dankwart Dam indicates local water management on the creeks feeding the river valley.
